cable release

[davidwrogers]

I've got a 150mm lens of whatever make; I don't have time to take my rig apart and figure that out. It has a weird tube with a hole in it that I assume is for a cable release. But I bought a 40" standard cable release and it does not connect. What is the name of the product I need?...

I can send photos or whatever in a couple of hours. But right now I have to photograph a coworker and his fiancee. A cable release would be sweet, but I don't have the time.

So release the shutter carefully with your finger.

Are you sure that you aren't trying to fit the cable release to the flash sync socket?

Pictures and the name would be very helpful. Please include photos of the over all lens, and anything that looks like it might be threaded, or some sort of a tube structure.

Is it a Ilex shutter ?, proberly needs a cable release with a bit longer throw.

The tube might be a nib for an air hose and bulb. If so, improvising a remote release from tubing and a rubber bulb intended for medical ir kitchen use might work.
